The stark honesty of Hiroshima-born and -primarily based 38-year-old architect Keisuke Maeda’s function is breathtaking.


The Pit House residence he designed for a client in Okayama, Japan, is a startling steel-structured 138 square-meter (1487 sq.ft.) “cave” that was built into the hillside website, but it allows the residents 360-degree views of the surrounding location and its buildings.

This is accomplished by mounting the above-the-surface component of the structure on 50 branch-like poles, generating a surround skylight for the amphitheater inside.

The Pit is one of those residences that a single would absolutely want to visit, not just throughout the day but at night. There is an observatory-like feel to the space, but the inside appears totally comfy.


The structure’s boxy surface silhouette hides beautiful, snail-like curving walls, and in spite of getting mostly underground, the residence is filled with light and openness.

Pit is certainly not the word we’d use to describe this fantastic structure, but maybe that name is portion of that honesty we so really like about Maeda. - Tuija Seipell
